In a heartwarming display of camaraderie, the entire class erupted in joyous celebration when senior Alex Thompson received his acceptance letter from Cornell University—the school he had long dreamed of attending. This touching moment, captured on video, is sure to warm the hearts of viewers everywhere.
As high school seniors around the world await the results of their college applications, Alex, a student at TM Landry College Prep in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, found himself surrounded by supportive teachers and friends as he awaited the big news. “It was the most anxious I’ve felt in my 17 years,” Alex shared with The Sun. “I felt like I was typing in slow motion.”
TM Landry College Prep is known for its strong sense of community, fostering an environment where students and staff rally around each other during such pivotal moments. It is a cherished tradition for the school to create videos capturing these celebrations, which they share on social media. When Alex learned he had been accepted to Cornell, the excitement in the room was palpable.
“What you don’t see in the video is me crying,” Alex admitted. “As soon as I saw my family, I broke down. In that moment, I reflected on my life over the past 17 years—the challenges, the hard work, everything that led to this achievement.”
Alex emphasized that the path to this moment was not without its hurdles. “Everyone sees the final success, but I want to make it clear that this wasn’t easy. Achieving something on this scale takes a lot of effort,” he noted. Despite the joy of his acceptance, he appreciated the support from his friends and teachers, who stood by him regardless of the outcome. “Whether the news was good or bad, the entire school community would be there for me. That sense of family is a cornerstone of our school culture,” he explained. “If I had been denied, they would’ve stood by me just the same.”
Looking ahead, Alex plans to study at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences with aspirations of becoming a veterinarian. He credits his family, especially his mom, as the driving force behind his academic endeavors. “I wanted to succeed not just for myself, but for my mom. If I don’t achieve my goals, I feel like I’m letting her down,” he shared.
Beyond sharing his joyous moment, Alex hopes his acceptance video serves as motivation for other students, regardless of their backgrounds. “Growing up, I didn’t have many role models in higher education. I want my story to inspire others to see that education can lead them to their dreams,” he stated.
As Alex prepares for his next chapter at Cornell, we wish him all the best in his studies. And if you need us, we’ll be watching his acceptance video on repeat—it’s simply that uplifting!
